~Anne~ Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 hmmmm maybe i need to highlight this so it gets read hehehe I read it and took your advice months ago. do u guys just pop the capsules in their food, or do you cut the capsule open ? what's the best way? I just put the capsule in his dinner. Being a pig he just scoffs it all. I don't even know if he realises it is there. My ex give his Viszlas fish oil caps as well but he just hands it to them and they eat them. One chews them up and the other seems to just swallow them.

It worked out cheaper to buy them online than buying them at the health food shop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Archie~ Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 It was about $4 - $5 for postage, I cant recall I was talking to a friend who bought them direct from her vet, so I guess it depends where you live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffy-Lover Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 u just put the capsule in the food you will know if you are giving too much because poohs will become jelly type with an oil cover type thing and their skin will get oily PS - this isn't as an alternative to any other meds etc it is in addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tali Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hi All My kees gets fish oil every one or two days, but for arthritis rather than epilepsy. Started by accident when the kids spat one out and the dog scoffed it. As you say, just stick in the food bowl and they eat it. Breath smells a bit fishy for a bit after they've eaten - but dog food breath isn't pretty anyway! Don't know about dosage - mine are Eye Q brand (cos that's what I bought for the kids - contain marine fish oil and evening primrose oil. Don't think it's doing any harm as the old girl managed to climb up onto our bed this morning unassisted for the the first time in about a year.... She was starting to get a sort of shake now and then, which i thought may have been related to epilepsy as I know Keeshonds are subject to this, but they've stopped now too so something must be helping! Good luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
